Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology - Chapter 479
Chapter 479
Sun Wukong's golden cudgel suddenly inserted into the ground, and the golden light of the cudgel suddenly surged, illuminating the entire underground space like the scorching sun.
The runes on the stone platform gradually lit up under the infusion of his magic power. The golden light and the runes reflected each other, forming a dazzling beam of light.
However, with the infusion of magic power, the stone platform began to vibrate violently, the underground space also trembled, and the surrounding rock walls made a low roar, as if they would collapse at any time.
Yang Jian tightly grasped the three-pointed, double-edged sword, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and quickly swept across the runes on the stone platform.
He frowned slightly, and his fingers gently stroked the blade. The rune patterns flowed on the blade, faintly exuding a cold breath.
He whispered:"Great Sage, the rune on this stone platform is not a simple seal, but an energy conversion device. Someone is trying to use it to transform the energy of the earth veins into evil energy!"
When Sun Wukong heard this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He raised the golden cudgel in his hand slightly, and the stick shone with golden light. The rune patterns became clearer under the guidance of his magic power.
He said in a deep voice:
"Energy conversion? Could it be that the remaining soul of Chen Tianjun is using this device to try to revive the evil spirit?"
Yang Jian nodded, and swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword fiercely, with the blade pointing directly at a certain position on the stone platform. His tone was calm but with a hint of urgency:"Great Sage, we need to seal off the energy nodes as soon as possible to prevent the evil energy from leaking out further. Otherwise, once the earth vein energy is completely contaminated, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Nezha stood aside, the flame from his fire spear drawing a fiery arc in the air.
He stared at the stone platform with a hint of impatience in his eyes:"Monkey, Yang Jian, if you want to block the energy node, then do it quickly! I don't want to watch you discuss it here!"
Sun Wukong glanced at him, his mouth corners slightly raised, with a hint of ridicule in his tone:"Nezha, you are still so impatient. However, you are right this time. We really can't delay any longer."
After he finished speaking, he swung the golden cudgel violently, and the golden light struck the runes on the stone platform like a sharp sword.
Under the impact of his magic power, the rune's light suddenly dimmed, but soon returned to its original state, as if it was putting up a stubborn resistance.
Seeing this, Yang Jian suddenly inserted the three-pointed, double-edged sword into the edge of the stone platform. The runes on the blade flowed, releasing a powerful restraining force.
He shouted in a low voice:"Great Sage, I have blocked some energy nodes. Please guide the energy of the earth veins and repair the rune array!"
Sun Wukong nodded, and clenched the golden cudgel with both hands. The golden light of the cudgel spread instantly, and the magic power poured into the stone platform like a tide.
His eyes were focused and firm, and his tone was low and powerful:"Okay, I'll repair the rune array and stop the evil energy from leaking out!"
His magical power flowed slowly along the runes on the stone platform, gradually repairing the damaged lines.
However, the runes' resistance became more intense, and the vibrations in the underground space also intensified.
The surrounding rock walls began to crack, rubble fell, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.
Seeing this, Nezha swung his flaming spear violently, and the flame at the tip of the spear drew a fiery mark in the air.
There was a hint of impatience in his eyes, and he whispered:
"Monkey, Yang Jian, the resistance of this rune array is too strong. We have to speed up, otherwise the underground space may collapse completely!"
Yang Jian nodded, and swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword violently. The blade drew a bright silver light and hit another energy node on the stone platform directly.
His tone was calm and decisive:"Great Sage, I have blocked all the energy nodes, but the rune array's resistance still persists. We need to work together to repair it completely!"
Sun Wukong took a deep breath, his eyes showing a hint of determination.
He suddenly leaped up and raised the golden cudgel high up. The golden light from the cudgel illuminated the entire underground space like the scorching sun.
He shouted:"Okay, let's work together to completely repair this rune array!"
After he finished speaking, he slammed the golden cudgel against the stone platform, and golden light poured into the rune array like a torrent.
Yang Jian's three-pointed, double-edged sword was also swung out suddenly, and the runes on the blade intertwined with the golden light, forming a powerful repairing force.
Nezha swung his flaming spear violently, and the flame at the tip of the spear drew a blazing fire dragon in the air, heading straight for the stone platform.
The power of the three people intertwined in an instant, and the power of gold, silver and fire formed a dazzling beam of light on the stone platform.
The rune array gradually stabilized under their combined efforts, and the vibrations in the underground space also weakened.
The surrounding rock walls stopped collapsing, and the oppressive feeling in the air gradually dissipated.
The runes on the stone platform gradually returned to their original state, the light slowly dissipated, and the underground space returned to peace.
Sun Wukong retracted his golden cudgel, and the golden light on the cudgel gradually faded. He glanced across the stone platform, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his tone was a little relaxed:"The rune array has been repaired, and the leakage of evil energy has been stopped."
Yang Jian also retracted his three-pointed, double-edged sword, and the runes on the blade slowly dissipated.
His eyes remained calm and his tone was steady:"Great Sage, we have finally prevented this crisis in time. However, the damage to the earth vein energy will take time to recover."
Nezha raised his flaming spear slightly, and the flame at the tip of the spear drew a fiery mark in the air.
He stared at the stone platform with a hint of disdain in his eyes:"This rune array is really troublesome. Fortunately, we have joined forces, otherwise we may not be able to handle it."
Sun Wukong smiled slightly, glanced at the two of them, and said with a hint of ridicule:"Nezha, you are still so impatient. However, we did cooperate well this time."
The three of them smiled at each other, then turned around and left the underground space, flying towards the ground.
After leaving the underground space, the three came to the ground, and the sunlight shone on their faces, making them feel warm and comfortable.
Sun Wukong shook off the dust on his body and grinned:"Finally I got out. It was so stuffy down here."
He stretched his muscles, making a crackling sound, and the surrounding trees seemed to shake as well.
Yang Jian looked into the distance with a deep gaze. He said nothing, but just gently stroked the handle of the three-pointed, double-edged sword.
The blade was still warm, retaining the heat from the battle just now.
He felt the faint fluctuations in the earth's energy, which had stabilized but not fully recovered.
Nezha seemed a little excited. He scratched the ground with his fire spear, leaving a few shallow marks.
"Hey, next time you run into this kind of trouble, don't call me over again..."
His tone was slightly complaining, but there was pride in his voice.
"My flaming spear has done a great job!"
He carried the musket on his shoulder, with the tip of the musket slightly tilted, looking very proud.
There was still a faint smell of burning in the air around him, which was the trace of his fire spear burning the evil spirit. Sun Wukong stood on the ground, his eyes slightly fixed, and the smile that just appeared on his face gradually faded.
He lowered his head and looked at his feet, with a hint of solemnity between his brows.
"Something's wrong."
He whispered, and with a flick of his finger, the golden hoop appeared in his hand instantly, with a faint golden light emanating from the stick.
"Deep in the earth veins... there seems to be residual fluctuations."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian quickly performed a magic formula and raised the three-pointed, double-edged sword slightly. The runes on the blade flowed, releasing a force of exploration.
His eyes were calm and focused, as if they penetrated the surface of the earth and went deep into the ground.
"Indeed."
Yang Jian whispered, with a hint of caution in his tone.
"Although we have suppressed the evil spirit, it seems that it has not completely dissipated. Although the fluctuations underground are weak, they still exist."
When Nezha heard the conversation between the two, he swung his Fire Spear violently, and the flame at the tip of the spear drew a fiery arc in the air.
He frowned, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of disdain:"How dare such an evil spirit to cause trouble? Monkey, Yang Jian, let's go down again and destroy it once and for all!"
Sun Wukong shook his head slightly, his eyes still fixed on the ground, his tone calm:"No rush. Although this fluctuation is weak, it may not be the remnant of the evil energy itself. It is very likely that the remaining consciousness of the evil energy is still trying to counterattack."
Yang Jian nodded, and tapped the three-pointed, double-edged sword lightly on the ground in front of him. The runes on the blade slowly flowed. His voice was low and calm:"The Great Sage is right. This fluctuation is clearly related to the evil energy that was suppressed earlier, but it is not exactly the same. Perhaps... it is the remaining consciousness of the evil energy that is causing trouble."
Nezha raised his flaming spear slightly, the flame on the tip of the spear dancing in the air, reflecting his slightly impatient expression:
"Then what are we waiting for? Just go down and destroy it!"
Sun Wukong did not respond, but took a sudden step forward, and the golden cudgel suddenly inserted into the ground. The golden light of the stick instantly spread, and the magic power seeped into the ground along the stick.
His eyes were like torches, and his tone was firm:"No matter what it is, since it still dares to cause trouble, let's meet it again!"
Yang Jian followed closely behind, swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword suddenly, the blade flashed a bright silver light, and his magic power penetrated into the ground like a sharp sword.
Seeing this, Nezha swung his Fire Spear violently, and the flame at the tip of the spear drew a blazing fire dragon in the air and rushed straight to the ground.
The power of the three people intertwined in an instant, and the magic power penetrated the ground, trying to completely eliminate the remaining fluctuations.
However, just as their magic power just touched the depths of the earth, the ground veins shook violently, and a powerful recoil force suddenly erupted!Sun Wukong's golden cudgel trembled violently, and the golden light on the cudgel was instantly dispersed. He swayed, staggered back a few steps, and a trace of surprise appeared between his brows:"This power... is so strong!"
Yang Jian's three-pointed, double-edged sword was also slightly deflected by the shock, and the runes on the blade flowed more rapidly.
There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes:"This recoil force is definitely not just the residual force of evil energy. It seems... there is something else that we haven't noticed yet."
Nezha's flaming spear paused slightly, and the flame on the tip of the spear was slightly dimmed. He snorted coldly, with a hint of anger in his tone:"No matter what it is, if it dares to block our way, don't blame me for being rude!"
After he finished speaking, he swung the Fire Spear violently, and the flame at the tip of the spear suddenly surged, turning into a blazing fire dragon that swooped down to the ground.
However, just as the flames touched the ground, the earth veins shook again, and an even more powerful recoil force suddenly erupted!Nezha's body was shaken back suddenly, and the flames of the Fire Spear were also dispersed. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and a trace of caution appeared in his tone:"This power... is wrong!"
Sun Wukong steadied himself and raised his golden cudgel slightly, the golden light on the cudgel gathering again. His eyes were stern and his voice was low:
"Deep underground, there may be secrets that we haven't discovered yet. We must be careful."
Yang Jian nodded, raised his three-pointed double-edged sword slightly, and the runes on the blade flowed more rapidly. His voice was calm and low:"The Great Sage is right. This power is related to the remaining consciousness of the evil spirit, but it also seems to have another source. We must first figure out its nature."
Nezha raised his flaming spear slightly, and the flame on the tip of the spear flickered slightly in the air. There was a hint of impatience in his eyes, and a hint of vigilance in his tone:"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go down and see what's causing the trouble!"
Sun Wukong did not respond, but took a sudden step forward, and the golden cudgel suddenly inserted into the ground. The golden light of the stick instantly spread, and the magic power seeped into the ground along the stick.
His eyes were like torches, and his tone was firm:"Come on, let's go down again!"
Yang Jian and Nezha followed closely behind, and the three of them quickly dived down along the passage opened by magic power, and their figures disappeared into the darkness deep underground.
The underground space was still narrow, the surrounding rock walls were damp, cold and slippery, and the air was filled with a rotten smell.
Sun Wukong raised his golden cudgel slightly, and the golden light from the cudgel dispelled the surrounding darkness.
He looked around vigilantly, and said in a low voice:
“The fluctuations here are more dramatic than before.”
Yang Jian held a three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand, the blade trembled slightly, and the light of the runes was particularly conspicuous in the darkness.
His eyes were calm and focused, and he whispered:“That power seems to be just ahead.”
Nezha gripped the Fire Spear tightly, and the flame at the tip of the spear drew a fiery mark in the air.
His steps were light, but there was a hint of impatience in his eyes:"Monkey, Yang Jian, what exactly is that power? We have to speed up, I don't want to stay here any longer!"
Sun Wukong nodded, swung his golden cudgel violently, and the golden light split the rock wall in front of him like a sharp sword.
His eyes were like torches, and his tone was firm:"Let's go, the source is just ahead!"
The three of them quickly passed through the crack in the rock wall, and suddenly the view in front of them opened up and a huge underground cave appeared in front of them.
In the center of the cave, a black energy wave slowly flowed in the air, emitting a suffocating feeling of oppression.
Sun Wukong raised his golden cudgel slightly, and the golden light from the cudgel completely illuminated the black energy fluctuations.
His eyes were stern and his tone was low:"It seems that this is the remaining evil consciousness."
Yang Jian stepped forward, and the three-pointed, double-edged sword gently pressed against the periphery of the black energy fluctuations. The blade glowed with a cold silver light under the energy fluctuations.
He brushed his fingers lightly across the surface of the energy fluctuations and whispered:
"Although this consciousness is weak, it is still very stubborn. It is trying to break free from our seal and regain its strength."
Sun Wukong's eyes focused, and he swung the golden cudgel suddenly. The stick glowed with golden light and hit the black energy fluctuations directly.
At the moment the golden hoop collided with the evil spirit, the underground space suddenly shook, and violent energy fluctuations swept across like waves. The surrounding rock walls made a low roar, and gravel fell one after another.
